Alternative - in what way? no cameraman (normally self employed) is going to risk being off work for a set-up. So who did the setting up? I agree the reporting of it in the DM etc was ludicrous but a set-up? By whom?

It is a non-story, but I suspect it would have been given similar prominence if it had been Theresa May in the car - it would have been given as an example of Tory heartlessness towards the ordinary working stiff.
